Mixed media jewelry
A while back I tried my hand at making some paper jewelry and was pleased with how it turned out. I finally got a whole necklace finished and I love it!
The necklace part is some hand spun art yarn, then the pendant is a blend of paper (for the large oval) and a metal washer, a copper domed disk and a bead. I fashioned a bail from some copper colored flat wire and made spirals for end caps with a clasp. I wore it to a bead show and was thrilled to get some very nice compliments, one being that it looked like Raku pottery. I just added some embossing powder on the top of the paper. I'm trying to make more, but that dang old full time job just keeps taking up all my time.

That full time job really does cramp our style.
